(EC Treaty, Art. 190; Staff Regulations, Art. 25)

Summary

A judgment of the Court of First Instance holding that the statement of reasons of a decision imposing a disciplinary measure on an official is inadequate is vitiated by an error in law where that decision gives a sufficiently precise indication of the conduct with which the official is charged and contains, even if it does not so specify expressly, the reason why the appointing authority diverged from the Disciplinary Board's opinion by adopting a disciplinary measure more severe than that recommended by the Board.
